Florence & Pisa Day Trip for Cruises
Tour Details
At the indicated time, we'll depart from the port of La Spezia and head to Florence, a journey of about 2 hours by road.
Once there, we'll stroll through Piazza Santa Maria Novella and the magnificent complex of Piazza del Duomo, home to the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, Giotto's Bell Tower and the Baptistery of San Giovanni.
Then, we'll visit Piazza della Repubblica and walk to Piazza della Signoria, the seat of political power since the Middle Ages, where we'll admire the magnificent Palazzo Vecchio and the Loggia dei Lanzi, a true open-air sculpture museum. And, of course, we'll visit the Ponte Vecchio, one of the symbols of Florence.
Next, we'll leave Florence behind and, after a journey of approximately an hour and 15 minutes, we'll arrive in Pisa. We'll stop near the Piazza dei Miracoli and give you free time to explore the city at your leisure. During this time, you can admire its most famous monuments, such as the Leaning Tower, the symbol of Pisa par excellence, the Duomo, the Baptistery and the Camposanto Monumentale.
We'll bring our adventure to an end after 9 to 10 hours at the cruise port of La Spezia, from where you can return to the ship. Unmissable!
